💵Our Bethel-Tate High School upperclassmen recently participated in the Real Money/Real World financial literacy activity, hosted by the Ohio State University Extension. This hands-on experience gave them a glimpse into managing a budget, paying bills, and making real-life financial decisions as an adult.
Thank you to OSU Extension for helping prepare our students for life beyond the classroom! 🌟

🕰️📚 Bethel-Tate Schools teachers took a step back in time during their November 5 in-service day! They visited the Bethel Historical Society and Museum, diving into local history and gathering inspiration for the classroom. From fascinating artifacts to stories of days gone by, our teachers loved connecting with the community's roots! 🌳✨ #BethelTatePride #LocalHistory #InserviceDay
On Friday, October 25, 2024, Bethel-Tate High School will conduct a safety belt check on campus as part of an ongoing effort to promote safe driving habits among students. The event will take place from 7:15 AM to 7:45 AM on the east side of the high school campus, where School Resource Officer Randy McElfresh, along with three additional Clermont County Sheriff’s Office Deputies, will be checking for seatbelt compliance among student drivers.
As a reward for their commitment to safety, students who are found wearing their seatbelts will receive a free drink card, generously donated by Biggby Coffee. A total of 250 free drink cards will be distributed during the checks, encouraging safe driving practices.
This initiative underscores the importance of seatbelt use and is designed to keep students safe on the road.
"Wearing a seatbelt is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself in a vehicle," said Deputy McElfresh. "We want to remind our students that safety is a priority, and we’re thankful for Biggby’s support in this effort."
The safety belt checks are part of Bethel-Tate High School’s broader commitment to student safety. By providing positive reinforcement, the school and law enforcement hope to encourage students to make seatbelt use a habit every time they get behind the wheel.
BTHS and the Bethel-Tate School District also want to inform the public about this event to ensure transparency regarding the police presence on campus. By promoting awareness of the safety belt checks, the school hopes to prevent any misunderstandings and assure families that the event is a proactive safety measure.
For more information about the event or other student safety initiatives, please contact Bethel-Tate High School Principal George Sturgeon or School Resource Officer Randy McElfresh.

We’re excited to announce that the new Bethel-Tate Local Schools Veterans Wall of Honor at Bethel-Tate High School is now complete and proudly displayed in the Commons area. Local Veterans were invited to submit their names and photos, which now scroll on a large monitor featured in the Honor Wall.
This project was an initiative of the BTHS National Honor Society. The NHS collaborated with the Bethel American Legion, Lions Club, and VFW on the project, and over the summer, the district’s maintenance team finalized it.
Thank you to all who contributed and participated in making the Honor Wall a reality. Veterans are still invited to provide their name and a photograph for inclusion in the Veterans Wall of Honor by filling out the form at the following link - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYFHod7Jw1e4dTtRJQL40u8xnxw3TdzO4lYhFB2fbtBierMA/viewform Military pictures can be emailed to nhs@betheltate.org
Bethel-Tate Schools Director of Operations Charles Napier shared that the business office completed a significant project this summer with the installation of a new chiller at Ebon Hill Intermediate School.
The chiller replaces an aged-out piece of equipment that’s been on the replacement list for a few years but was on hold due to limited funds. The new system will not only be more reliable, but it’s also energy efficient which will result in savings for the district.
Please join us in celebrating the Bethel-Tate Middle School Band’s selection for participation in the 2024 Capital Conference Student Achievement Fair.
Band Director Paul Glader entered an audition clip of the BTMS Band for the prestigious performance opportunity. The Student Achievement Fair is a great occasion to showcase the talents of the many musicians who comprise the BTMS band, Mr. Glader said.
“Among the awards we have received recently, this one sticks out particularly because it is based on our performance ability level unlike some of the other awards that recognize other aspects of our program,” Mr. Glader continued. “We were selected to represent the OSBA Southwest Ohio region and I believe Southwest Ohio has some of the finest programs in the entire state, so this is a great honor.”
In a letter announcing the band’s acceptance as a performance group in the 2024 Student Achievement Fair, Amanda Husmann, Administrative Associate of Board Management Services for the OSBA, wrote, “The Middle School Band group is fantastic, and we’d be honored to have them join in representing the OSBA Southwest Region!”
The Student Achievement Fair is part of the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA) Capital Conference held each November. The fair highlights outstanding student performing groups and fresh, innovative initiatives from school districts across the state. The fair will be held during the OSBA Capital Conference in November.
🎓🎉 Let's give a huge round of applause to Lillie Webb, the Valedictorian, and Sarah Munn, the Salutatorian of Bethel-Tate High School's Class of 2024! 🌟 Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off, and we can't wait to see what amazing accomplishments lie ahead for both of you! https://www.betheltate.org/o/bths/article/1569796 #Classof2024 #Valedictorian #Salutatorian #BTBetterTogether
